About Me
This Fanpage is NOT run by Asia Argento. By Fans for Fans. Also, I do not accept BANDS unless you message us telling us you are a FAN of Asia's. I ONLY SPEAK ENGLISH, I am sorry.
Rome's city registry office refused to acknowledge ''Asia'' as an appropriate name, and instead officially inscribed her as Aria Argento.
She grew up in the entertainment industry. For three days following her birth, her parents projected Gone with the Wind on the living room wall.
As Asia grew older, she was gradually exposed to other genres of film, notably her father's slasher movies, beginning when she was six years old with a viewing of Deep Red -- a film which, incidentally, starred her mother.
She received the David di Donatello (Italy's response to Hollywood's Academy Award) for Best Actress in 1994 for her performance in Perdiamoci di vista!, and again in 1996 for Compagna di viaggio, which also earned her a Grolla d'oro Award. In 1998, Asia made her American film debut in the movies B. Monkey and New Rose Hotel, alongside Christopher Walken.
Asia has also proven her ability to work in multiple tongues, adding French to the list of languages in which she has performed, with a role in 1994's La Reine Margot. That same year, she made her first foray into directing, calling the shots behind the short films, Prospettive and A ritroso. In 1996, she directed a documentary on her father, and in 1998 a second one on Abel Ferrara, which won her the Rome Film Festival Award. Her feature directorial debut came in 2000's Scarlet Diva, a film that she also and starred in.
In 2001, a great deal of attention was drawn to an alleged hit-and-run that Asia was involved in, and her position in this incident wasn't helped by the fact that a bottle of absinthe was found in her car (the liqueur was to be used as a prop in a music video that Asia was directing).
In June of 2001, Asia gave birth to her first child, Anna Lou. The father is musician Marco Castoldi (''Morgan'') from the Italian band Bluvertigo. Asia has appeared in many movies such as,
